FAQs
What is the primary material of the Boafer Light Loafer?
The primary material is 100% calf leather with a lamb leather lining.
How should I clean my leather loafers?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and follow up with a leather conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
The loafers have a standard fit. If you have wide feet, consider trying them on to ensure comfort, as the minimalist profile might feel snug.
Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?
While leather can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. Consider applying a waterproofing spray for added protection, but be aware it might alter the leather's finish.
What does 'grainy finish' mean?
A grainy finish refers to the texture of the leather, which has a natural or embossed grain pattern, giving it a richer, more tactile appearance compared to smooth leather.
Where are the Acne Studios Boafer Light Loafers made?
These loafers are made in Italy, signifying high-quality craftsmanship.
How do I maintain the gold branding?
The debossed gold branding is part of the leather. Standard leather care should suffice. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could wear away the foil.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine. Ensure you are using the correct product for calfskin leather.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather repair balm or consult a professional cobbler.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the loafers with socks for a few hours each day to allow them to stretch naturally. Using shoe stretchers can also help.
Water spots on the surface
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, condition the leather to help blend the spot. Future use of a water-repellent spray is recommended.

Compatibility: These loafers are highly compatible with a range of apparel, including tailored trousers, chinos, smart denim, and even tailored shorts. They bridge the gap between formal and casual wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it's not wet. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaps.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for calfskin leather periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Test any conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to offer protection against moisture, though this may alter the finish slightly. Always test on a hidden spot.
- Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
